4 axis foam cutter http://www.vimeo.com/12845451 sory to video format. But wire streched by spring so You can run 4 axis to spring tolerance. G02 and G03 converted small G01 by other software.This software writen V.S. c# and you can convert Catia 3 axis post to 4 axis foam cutter. 2007/9/13 Ryan

The first couple of cuts I was using a chord length of about 100mm, meaning that my g-code statements around the leading edge where about 0.1mm apart or less, which caused the feedrate to slow down for some reason, which caused too much heat to build up in the leading edge. If you use G64

[TRAJ]AXES should probably be set to 8. Here's the explanation from the documentation: One more than the number of the highest joint number in the system. For an XYZ machine, the joints are numbered 0, 1 and 2; in this case AXES should be 3. For an XYUV machine using ``trivial

Ok, thanks for your help (Chris too), I seem to have it working now. In the ini file I have AXES = 8 COORDINATES = X Y U V HOME = 0 0 0 0 And [AXIS_6] and [AXIS_7] sections instead of the 2 and 3 I had before. And in my core_foam_stepper.hal I changed
